Picking up audio described TV on get_Iplayer
Hi everyone, asking on behalf of a friend who’s having the issue below. Here’s what he wrote "Does anyone know why I sometimes seek out audiodescribed TV programmes using Get_Iplayer and yet it sometimes sends down the version without AD? The command I use, say, to get ‘Gavin and Stacey’ would either be get_iplayer --get “Gavin and Stacey” --versions=audiodescribed or get_iplayer --get (--URL” followed by the full URL of the page with the audiodescribed version on it (After the PID, the URL shows “/AD/) And down comes the version without audiodescription, even though I know the described edition exists?" Any thoughts please? Many thanks. Amro ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
Which is quicker, converting to 320 or 256 bitrate?
Hello everyone, I am setting the option to always convert downloaded radio programmes to a constant bitrate MP3 format, and my question is, does it make any difference, speed wise, if I convert to a lower bitrate than 320? i.e. Would the conversion take less time if I convert to say 256 bitrate? Thank you. Amro ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
Re: Europe
For what it is worth, I have used StreamVia https://www.streamvia.com/ for few years and in few different countries, including China and it is yet to let me down. The only UK website I could not access from abroad was National Lottery. I believe StreamVia has an option for live TV streaming in HD. It is a paid for service but if you are a frequent traveller you may justify the cost. On 21/12/2018 02:27 pm, Paul Thornett wrote: VPNs are often very slow. Much faster, and a solution that works well for me, is something called Smart DNS, which is essentially a different set of DNS addresses. Both VPNs and DNS redirection will cost you a small amount of money - ignore the so-called free offerings, they are usually very slow and often not to be trusted.

You need to use a VPN which makes you appear to be in the UK if you want to download TV programmes.

I tried the GiP PVR and did a cache refresh quickly and easily both for Radio & T.V. Then I ran the PVR list and this too went OK. For example it downloaded the latest 'Beyond Our Ken' for 16-12-2018 which ended up as: Beyond_Our_Ken_-_From_4_6_1959_m0001k9d_original.m4a File size : 69.1 MiB Duration : 30 min 4 s Overall bit rate mode : Variable Overall bit rate : 322 kb/s Just the same as in the UK. BUT ... no t.v. downloads.
